This is a private event.
Aims
- To introduce you to a range of strategies for teaching A level Mathematics.
- To deepen your pedagogical content knowledge in key areas of the A level curriculum.
- To develop your understanding of how key concepts that underpin A level Mathematics are linked together across the subject.
Who will benefit from attending?
- Teachers who are comfortable with the mathematical content of the first year of A level Mathematics and would like to develop their teaching strategies.
- Teachers who have just completed their initial teacher training programme and are about to take up their first post. There is an expectation that you will be teaching A level Mathematics from September.
- Teachers who are new to teaching A level Mathematics, i.e. have no more than three years' experience of teaching it.
Content
The course covers a variety of teaching strategies for A level Mathematics:
- Building upon previous learning
- Encouraging learning through discussion
- Teacher-centred use of technology
- Student-centred use of technology
- Informal assessment
- Questioning
- Using multiple representations
- Making connections
- Modelling in statistics
- Using real data in statistics
- Practical approaches in mechanics
- Modelling in mechanics
Other information
This is a residential course. All accommodation and meals will be provided.
A bursary is available to cover the full cost, including accommodation, for teachers from state-funded schools and colleges in England.
Eligibility
The course fee is £600. Teachers employed in a state maintained school or college in England will have the full course fee reimbursed on completion.
Study schedule
The course will last for 4 days from Monday 21st to Thursday 24th August.
Participant feedback
All sessions were incredibly valuable, and extremely well organised. I now feel much more confident in teaching A level, but will also take away strategies that will have a huge impact on my teaching throughout the school.
It was excellent. I especially liked the focus on pedagogy rather than subject knowledge.
